Walla Walla is a wine region within Columbia Valley that straddles both Oregon and Washington. Wine-making began in the mid-1800s, when an influx of pioneers, many of them Italian immigrants, who first settled in the area for the burgeoning fur trade and the Idaho gold rush. Though the commercial wine industry didn’t catch on in the region until the 1950s when the Pesciallo family established Blue Mountain Vineyards, the first in the region since the Prohibition.
Barbera elicits the most remarkable reactions from people. Those who are more accustomed to modern wines only recall the worst of the wine’s history. The thin, incredibly high acid examples seemed better suited for use in the garage as a solvent than f...

The wine itself is a classic Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), Merlot (16%), Cabernet Franc (12%), Malbec (4%) and Petit Verdot (4%). The color in the glass is a rich garnet and the nose brings forth notes of leather, oak and earthy spice, the type of aromas that cause you to enter a state of deep relaxation (at least they do th...

The wine itself is a blend of mainly Merlot (88%), Syrah (7%) and Sangiovese (5%), and it's that latter that I believe provides some lovely differentiation to this wine. The color is a lovely deep purple in the glass, and the nose exudes leather, oak and plum. The taste is fruit forward as you might expect with a blend dominated by Merlot, but... Read More

Very pretty on the nose with a touch of lilac early on followed by some boysenberry fruit, gentle and well integrated pencil shavings, vanilla and ginger oak tones, and a nice bed of spicy blackcurrant fruit. This is bright and finely balanced on entry, with rich fruit paired with a balanced but fairly intense layer of oak. There are nice chocol... Read More

The color is a rich, deep ruby color, and the nose is a wonderful blend of earthiness, oak, offsetting a sweet spiciness, that's a blend of cassis, cherry and blackberry, balancing out the spice of cinnamon and dark chocolate. The taste is remarkable, with flavors of ripe fruit coming through despite the age, which are quickly overtaken by note... Read More

On the nose, as well as on the palate, what I would describe as smokey mixed-berry cobbler. Fruit is a little bit subdued, acid very vibrant, tannins discernible but slightly faded; oak is well integrated - enough smokiness to enhance the flavors but not overbearing.Well crafted wine but slightly imbalanced at the moment - not sure if it's fadin...

Nice. Thicker and more complex than I remember with the 2006. Blackberry and herbal notes come across. A good nose on Berrys and vanilla. Give it an hour to open. Another good Washington Merlot from Northstar. Read More

Wine and bestie on the veranda, tonight we are partaking of Chocolate Shop Chocolate Lover's Wine. Nice smooth red wine with a sort of smokey chocolate cherry taste. Nice :) Read More

Low, dark-fruited cinnamon, herb and oily wood nose gains intensity with air, though the fruit resides in the dried plum and dried berry end of the spectrum. A bit disjointed with good acidity that is seemingly distinct from the lightly flavored but seemingly sweet notes of raspberry and cherry in the mouth. There are few tannins to speak of so ...
